I'm in misery alone
I'm in misery betrothed
Not a Sadomasochist
A Sadomonogamist
When you were young, you were so romantic
You married quick to prove you knew what love is
Adrift . . . (6x)
It's a shame I cannot decide
Which way to ruin my life
It's assured whichever I'd choose
I'd be doomed to despise
You became a man, you didn't stand a chance
You assumed love was just a blind man's hang-up
Without an anchor, I am free
Without an anchor, I do as I please
Your sudden drift amongst your stormy sea
Of women old and new and used and lonely
Without an anchor, I'm a wreck
Without an anchor, I regress
And all these women see your damaged good
Before they flee, who'll take you seriously
Adrift . . . (12x)
I'm a middle-aged clich탩
Found out I'm satisfied
Too small to appreciate
When life is merely all right
Those women you once loved have open arms
That you abruptly shoved aside for the next one (3x)
Without an anchor, I am free
Without an anchor, I do as I please
Without an anchor, I'm a wreck
Without an anchor, I regress
